A fairly large crowd braved the cold this afternoou to witness some excellent racing at Latonia. Under favorable weather conditions, todays racing would have ranked with the best seen here this season. Most of the finishes were close and aroused much enthusiasm. Betting was brisk and the takings in the mutuels went over the 0,000 mark. The majority of the spectators located the winners in fairly regular order, but the big operators suffered disappointment, most of the favorites being beaten. T. M. Green again scored in the six-furlongs handicap over good opposition, which included Helmet, Grover Hughes, Bettie Sue, Prince Gal and Carlton G. The last-named pair were the disappointments of the race. Prince Gal might have been more of a factor but for his persistent attempts to run close to the inner rail, which brought him much interference in tbe stretch. T. M. Green stood a hard drive at the end to outlast the fast finishing Helmet. E. 11. Bradleys Brig, an outsider, accounted for the opening purse, in which the limit number of starters went to the post. She led for nearly all the way. R. F. Carmans Compton, under E. Du-gans able handling, won the second race from John Furlong. George Odom took ills first purse in over five weeks when Tourist just lasted to win the third race. The western millionaire. Ii.
